Faith-Filled DIY Tutorial for a Layered Redeemed Wooden Cross Centerpiece
In this faith-filled DIY tutorial, we’re creating a layered “Redeemed” wooden cross using the February Crafting & Christ Kit. This meaningful project combines texture, dimension, and scripture-inspired elements to create a beautiful piece of Christian home decor you can display year-round.
During the tutorial, I walk you step by step through painting, distressing, layering, and assembling the cross, along with tips for achieving a crackled, time-worn finish that adds depth and character.
